    I have OME 886's mounted on Bilstein 5100's up front. I have had the springs about a year and half now. I have a steel TJM bumper with a Smittybuilt XRC 9500 winch and RCI full skids. My front end has settled about 1.5 inches and now sits a full 2 inches lower than the rear. The shocks are set on the second notch for lift. I have two questions- is it normal for these heavy duty Springs to settle this much and second is it safe to raise the shock up a notch or maybe 2?

    Not sure personally I wouldn’t. Maybe add a top plate spacer for lift. 1/2”
    Spacer for 1” of lift? Heard of some doing that
